Came across this a while ago ; the level of detail seems quite low.

They've just about got it to 0.1mm now.

It'll never do what we want. ABS is too viscous to extrude finely.
Still going to build one once I've space.  :;):



There are a few options available to us - evapourative solvents, sintering, point etching.
problem is none of them have been developed to the same extent as the standard reprap.

Same issues - that's why i was mumbling about using die cast ABS in that other thread.

Even for buildings, I'd still aim for a proper level of detail.

Towerblocks and non gothicy/twiddly i suppose are possible.

0.1mm  - still pretty visisble blockyness i think. Ought to try though.

The machine I use goes down to 0.05mm.

0.1mm would be acceptable, as long as the quality is there!

I've been doing a fair bit more diggin in their forums. I owe the OP an apology, they're further ahead with microfabbing then I thought.
